This project will analyse the Future of Debt, Money, and Banking in the Euro-area. Through a closed-door round table and a public conference, ELF aims to create a publication that will serve the policy and decision-makers to address the changed European attitude to joint debt, low borrowing costs, and increased money supply.
This conference will dive into the conclusions of the roundtable held during the spring of 2022 and will focus on two aspects.
During this first event, two narratives were discussed around the roots of inflation and the effects of the current ECB policies on EU citizens. From discussing the fiscal rules for the Member States, and the review of the Stability and Growth Pact, the European Liberal Forum is assessing the countermeasures taken to maintain price stability in the Euro area and the consequences for the banking and financial systems.
This conference will be followed by a presentation of the findings of ‘’A Liberal Way to reduce a mountain of debt‘’ with the support of NEOS Lab.
